Barry'd from the factory

Remember the good things = Britain's heritage railways!

 

TTF this island really does have somewhere 'well out the back of beyond'

Didn't Max drive a red one in the first film, before he became mad?

Nah mate, Max drove a modified Holden HJ Panelvan

Speaking of Holden Panelvans, I must introduce you all to the Holden Sandman

I think the point is being missed a little in the case of a lot of these cars. Proper performance versions that sported bigger wheels and in some cases , now dated , aerodynamic addenda aren't the same thing at all as just throwing I'll judged body kits or graphics at an everyday shopping hatch.

 

A case in point is the BX 4TC, it's an actual Group B car , the road going homologation version might look a bit odd, but Barried? No, in the same way a 6R4, Delta S4 or T16 aren't .

This times a million. A 190e 2.3/2.5 16v is probably the least barried homologation special ever.

 

Also, the BX 4tc looks the way it does because they set out to win rallies, not sell the model to the great unwashed.

Can't talk about vans without mentioning this!

 

 

In 1981, for mainland European market only, the Transit Clubmobil was introduced by the Hymer company. This was fitted with a 1.6 / 2.0 OHC engine, and featured a custom interior – captain style swivel seats in velour, pile carpet, motorsport steering wheel, unique Ronal 14" alloy wheels, unique side windows, folding back seat, luggage box, unique front spoiler, tinted glass, power assisted steering, spare wheel carrier and rear door ladder. In 3 years of production 150 were produced and less than 20 are thought to still exist.

How much do these Focus Collections go for out of interest?

Fuck all, along with most Focus MK1s at the moment as far as I know. Worth getting a Collection or Millenium IMO.

How much do these Focus Collections go for out of interest?

An absolute fucking fortune. If I were you I’d try and buy one ASAP, probably a dark coloured three door 1.8 with aftermarket alloys. If only we knew someone selling one.

 

If only.

Around here, they seem to be worth approximately £60 per tonne.

Probably my favourite car in Forza Horizon 3.

How the fuck did they make the glass for that side window?!

Where’s my cheque book? This is a blue chip investment...

I’ve never seen actually one of these with the wing. Do they even exist?

 

Saw one on the M3 this morning, in white.

Just to play Devils Avacado for a minute , why has the Equippe appeared on here but not the Mk2 Mexico?

 

Ok, ones a cynical stripe and different wheels on a popular shopping car fitted with a mildly uprated engine...

The other one's an Allegro.

[Wilko220]

[Remspoor]

Two rusty buckets for the list.

Abarth Grande Punto, only for the side strips and red mirror covers.

 

 

Abarth 695 Biposto loads more Barry for your dosh.

I don't want to jump on the all moderns are shit bandwagon but the factory decal kits you see nowadays are awful.

This is what I had in mind with my original post, it's the non performance cars that really count as Barry'd, hence the examples I chose! However it is really nice seeing all these examples of factory modded cars.

I remember a fabulous but almost certainly fictitious letter in Jalopy (I think it was) about night shifts at BL running out of the right coloured seats etc and so creating their own "special editions".

I thought it was illegal to display racing numbers when on the road unless you're competing in an organised event. Now we've got manufacturers offering them as stick-on accessories FFS.

Is it really bad that I did and still do think that the Proton Lynx looks fantastic?
